How do emerging states become full, functioning members of the
international system? In this book, Cameron G. Thies argues that
new and emerging states are subject to socialization efforts by
current member states, which guide them in locating their position
in the international system. Thies develops a theoretical approach
to understanding how states socialize each other into and out of
different roles in the international system, such as regional
power, ally, and peacekeeper. The concept of state socialization is
developed using role theory, a middle-range theory developed in the
interdisciplinary field of social psychology. This middle-range
theory helps to flesh out the theoretical mechanisms often missing
in grand theories like neorealism and constructivism. The result is
a structural theory of international politics that also allows for
the explanation of actual foreign policy behavior by states. The
foreign policy histories of the U.S. and Israel are analyzed using
this theoretical approach to show how international social pressure
has affected the kinds of roles they have adopted throughout their
histories, as well as the kinds of roles that they have not been
allowed to adopt. By considering the effects of international
socialization attempts on their foreign policy behavior, Thies
shows the well-known cases of the U.S. and Israel in a new light.
The United States, Israel and the Search for International Order
argues that the process by which states learn their appropriate
roles and behaviors in the international social order is crucial to
understanding international conflict and cooperation, which will be
significant for those studying both theory and method in
international relations, foreign policy, and diplomatic history.
